Memorial & Writing
All this economic theory, you know, it’s a wee bit complicated. It can sound
interesting in small bites, but there, playing in the background, is that big, nuclear
mushroom cloud rising into our worse fears. This terror is not for us as a nation,
but as a mass extinction level event of all life on earth.
And so any talk of fighting back in this War of Ukraine finds its way to that
single punchline, America is starting WW3. STOP IT. JUST STOP IT ALREADY.
1) This is truly an Absurd Argument.
First is the sheer level of naivety. The assumption – so foolish. The thinking is
that if we just stay out of this War of Ukraine, we can avoid a nuclear
confrontation with Putin.
How innocent Americans have become. How great Europeans denial.
Ukraine is not Russia’s redline. Here’s the really, really so scary part. There is
no redline. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY REDLINE. Nuclear confrontation is not a
Final Solution for Putin. That is his opening act - to any dispute. Putin opens with
nuclear threat and then works his way back from there. Sometimes stated. Always
implied.
2) The second Absurd Argument.
We can end nuclear confrontation by just walking away from Ukraine. How
much easier does it get?
Again, this reading of Putin is dreadful - truly the worst miscalculation.
The loss of Ukraine, this is NOT THE END OF NUCLEAR CONFRONTATION. It’s
just the beginning of it. Putin’s victory lap will now be offered in a new wave of
nuclear threats. It’s nukes, for every other foreign venture here on after. Why not.
It just works so well for him. Putin gives us a great, big track record to follow.
Before Ukraine, Putin threatened nukes a couple times a year. It was sort of
like a seasonal thing. The War of Ukraine did change that. It came every few
weeks. Today, it’s weekly. Sometimes, daily.
of England. Should the Brits dare raise a hand to Russia - Kaboom. Nuked.
For some reason, we didn’t hear much of this in the news.
Serbia and other European countries. Somehow the media missed this too.
Again, not really found in news reports.
excitement of scaling North Korea. Better nukes, more destructive, greater
radius of delivery. How exciting.
Latvia, Estonia and even Canada, each now making Putin’s hit list too. Putin
valiantly calling out all these warmongering countries for the terror they
unleash upon the world.
France, Italy, all the rest to follow shortly.
Putin. Nukes as the staple of routine foreign policy - now the new normal.
Ukraine. China will make sure of it. They have patiently waited decades for
this day, much as Putin did for Ukraine. Victory be to Putin. China knows it.
So does the rest of the world. Even Americans.
for America and much of the rest of the world.
all of tech as well.
Russia, China and North Korea will respond with nukes. Don’t you dare join
Taiwan in defending her sovereignty. Folks, it’s Ukraine ALL OVER AGAIN.
It’s a fairly simple formula. Standard issue for Putin. This time however,
China and N Korea are not sitting on the sidelines. They are to lead the
charge for this Invasion of Taiwan. We now have 3 foes over today’s just
one with Russia in Ukraine. And so goes this snowball of Putin’s nuclear
confrontations.
Democracies for it will now be the age of dictators and oppression once
more.
Welcome to Putin’s victory of Ukraine. This is not the end of nuclear
confrontation, MY DEAR FRIENDS. It’s just the beginning of it.
